Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use in increasing data throughput to mobile stations in a wireless communication network, where data is communicated between mobile stations and the wireless network in a plurality of data bursts within time slots assigned to the mobile station. One illustrative method includes the acts of receiving, through a wireless transceiver, data in a time slot W; tuning the wireless transceiver, during a first portion of a time slot X which follows the time slot W, for transmission; reading transmit data from a transmit data queue and encoding the transmit data in a data burst in accordance with a data burst format; and causing the encoded transmit data to be transmitted in the data burst during a second portion of the time slot X. The data burst may be formatted in accordance with a predefined data burst format of the wireless network and merely shifted in time, or the data burst may be formatted in accordance with a reduced-size data burst format. When such alternate data burst technique is utilized, extra available time remains to tune the wireless transceiver from receive to transmit mode, or transmit to receive mode. Thus, an additional downlink time slot(s) per data frame may be allocated to the mobile station for increased data throughput, where at least one uplink time slot per data frame is utilized for data transmission.

Abstract: Method and system for treating a waste stream in a care institution. The waste is presented in containers, such as chamber pots and other containers for liquid and other kinds of waste. According to the present invention, such waste can be supplied at different locations (2) (departments) and is immediately comminuted (3). This is followed by a separating stage (4) in which the waste stream is separated into container material and actual waste. The actual waste, such as urine and feces is fed to a bioreactor where the water is purified so that it may be re-used, if desired. If it is biodegradable, the container material may be subjected to a fermentation (38) step. The heat and gases released in the process may be used for heating the contents of the fermenter and/or generating power. It is also possible to feed kitchen waste., which may optionally have been comminuted, to the fermentation. The stream which leaves the fermentation may be separated into hard components which are filtered off and composted and into softer components which can be fed to the purification installation (5).
